i have jabbing ear pain all the time,my doc says i'm having muscle spasms.i take advil all the time it's like eating candy.maybe when u go back to the doc's they can check it all out and see.it bothers me some times but then i just try to forget about it.my doc told me to put a heating pad on the side i had surgery on for about a half hour 3 or 4 times a day so far it has helped maybe u could try that and see.good luck to u.
